    Most of us know that Ikea is the world's biggest furniture company. However, did you know that it's also a pioneer in environmental protection?

    Ikea says it's working hard to improve the environment. The company has made huge efforts to cut the carbon emissions(碳排放)of its suppliers(供应商).Over the past five years, Ikea has helped its suppliers become 18 percent more energy-efficient. It managed to do so by bringing its suppliers together. The one that produces the least carbon emissions will be praised.

    Ikea has also invested(投资)heavily in clean energy. The company now operates more than 300 wind turbines(叶轮机)around the world. It has also set up nearly 750,000 solar panels(太阳能嵌板)on the roof of its stores. As a result, Ikea can produce 71 percent of the energy it uses, which are all from clean sources. In some countries，such a} Denmark and Finland，the company produces as much energy as it uses.

    Ikea has been buying forests as well. It owns nearly 750 square kilometers of forest.

    Last but not least, Ikea has tried changing customers' behavior(行为).It does so by improving product designs. In 2015, Ikea changed all of its lighting products into LED. This change alone, it says, has saved lots of electricity.

    An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled(颤抖)，his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn't walk steadily(平稳地).The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.  But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.

    The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man，so they put a small table in the corner. There，the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was put in a wooden bowl.

    The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" The boy answered, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The wordsstruckthe parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the man took his father's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

    Was it probable that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory(王者荣耀). Created by Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory was one of the most popular MOBA games in China in 2017.

    About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game's community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat contacts(联系人), with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones.

    The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress，each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real historical characters, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other or team up to fight. The winners can reach higher ranks(排名).

    However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about events and people in history. For example, the poet Li Bai is described as a killer; Jing Ke, the man who tried to kill the first emperor of China, is a girl in the game. But more people worry about children playing the game too much and spending too much money on it. Most of the players are below the age of 19. It's reported that a 17-year-old boy had a stroke(中风)after playing the game for 40 hours.

    To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from playing too much. From July 4, 2017, children under 12 years old can play the game for only one hour a day, while users between 12 and 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the time limit will be locked out of the game.

    Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings and senses, including Love, Happiness, Sadness and Wisdom lived. One day they were told that the island would sink(下沉), so they all got on boats and left except Love.

    Love was the only one that stayed until the last possible moment. Finally, Love decided to ask for help.

    Wealth was passing by Love in a beautiful boat.  Love said, "Wealth, can you take me with you?"

    Wealth answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no room for you."

    Love decided to ask Pride, who was also passing by in a beautiful ship. "Pride, please help me!"

    "I can't help you, love. You are all wet and might damage(损坏)my boat," Pride answered.

    Sadness was close by, so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

    "Oh…Love, I'm so sad. How can I take someone else with me?"

    Happiness passed by Love too.  But she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called out to her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I'll take you." It was an elder. Love was so excited that he forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at the river bank(河岸), the elder went his own way. Love was grateful to the elder, so he asked Wisdom, another elder. "Who helped me?"

    "It was Time," Wisdom answered.

    "Time?" asked Love.

    Wisdom smiled and replied, "Only Time can understand how valuable you are."
